About This Presentation
Title:

Su Blackwell (British, 1975)1

Description:

Su Blackwell, an artist and art director, crafts very detailed tableaus, many with a fairy-tale or folklore theme, by deconstructing, cutting, and sculpting old books. Her work brings these fables to life. She turns books into incredible paper sculptures featuring birds, trees and dreamlike fantasies and the level of detail and imagination that goes into her creations is staggering. She reads the book first and begins to create the work, adding detail that brings her work that special magic. Su has exhibited her exquisite sculptures around the World. Her illustrated book of fairy tales ‘The Fairytale Princess’, published by Thames & Hudson was re-released in 2015. Su has designed art fabric for Liberty London, and her illustrations have contributed to regular columns in ‘Intelligent Life Magazine’ and ‘Harper’s Bazaar UK’. Su has also turned her hand to art-direction for commercials, for clients such as Volvo and British Airways, and to theatre set-design. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
